It is now in record they are seeking for a hooping Kes155 million to pay salaries yet when you go to there counters they no longer accept cheques because they need to handle cash ( to avoid records) so I believe. suggestion, To avoid corruption and to increase revenue collections in CBD why don't you have lesser parking charges for vehicles coming to purchase items in town, like say a period of an hour to cost Kes 100.00 and the rest day long charges, This will help all parties including the council, shopkeepers and the common mwananchi. Please help the oppressed Kenyan by giving us more details of how the city askaris are to handle mwananchi in cases of-you are found without a business license where they manhandle you like a bag of cabbage to a waiting mobile council hired shop where you bribe your way out, you are dropping your colleague and here he comes and puts in a car clamp while you are in your car and ask for a bribe, is there a hot line to call when you are in this kind of a scenario? kangachu wishes to be a proud Kenyan.

To avoid corruption and to increase revenue collections in CBD why don’t you have lesser parking charges for vehicles coming to purchase items in town, like say a period of an hour to cost Kes 100.00 and the rest day long charges, This will help all parties including the council, shopkeepers and the common mwananchi.

Please help the oppressed Kenyan by giving us more details of how the city askaris are to handle mwananchi in cases of-you are found without a business license where they manhandle you like a bag of cabbage to a waiting mobile council hired shop where you bribe your way out, you are dropping your colleague and here he comes and puts in a car clamp while you are in your car and ask for a bribe, is there a hot line to call when you are in this kind of a scenario?

I wonder whether you and your readers caught up with captain Von Stalhein in "Biggles flies East"? The world was a much simpler place those days....as long as Biggie had his mozos he could sort out the world's villains. This was just so hilarious…..And a walk down meomory lane…..

I hear before coming to Kenya, he was sharing his wisdom - teaching some scribes how to identify and report hard news at some Eastern university. When does his work permit expire. It's funny how all the wise men come from the East. Far East, Middle East, Eastern Province, Eastlands et al!!!! Alfie is just another “Wiseman from the East”.

But, unfortunately, our dear sycophant, Bwana Daktari, has said each of these things at one time or the other. It really is sad, at least under Dan Toro, there was no attempt by anyone ( apart from JJ who would never ever count) to pretend the Emperor had any clothes on. - Steve While this is hilarious, it would be so much better for us as a country if it was actually all hyperbole.
